What does it mean to be a presence-driven witness?

In this message, Pastor Keith Cross looks at Numbers 14 and Exodus 33 and the difference between a performance-driven church and a presence-driven church.

A performance-driven church asks what it can get from God. A presence-driven church knows it cannot move without God.

As a counter-cultural, presence-driven people, we are called to:

• Prioritize the Maker over the Marketable by valuing God above what He can provide.

• Pursue Dependence over Independence by cultivating an unyielding posture of dependence on God.

• Pause for Guidance over Goals by refusing to move ahead of God’s presence.

Moses understood that God’s presence was what distinguished His people. “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.”

The question is whether we are treating God as an afterthought or honoring Him as our main thought.
